Hmmm, you lost me there Alan. I have noticed that launching KDE with kdm |
| 44 |
reads the /etc/kde/startup/agent-startup.sh file, but that is not the case |
| 45 |
when I use kdm to launch other WMs, like fluxbox or enlightenment. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Enlightenment has its own startup directory for launching applications at |
| 48 |
start up (.e/e/applications/startup/), but placing in there the agent- |
| 49 |
startup.sh file does not launch gpg-agent. :-( |
